Wow, Argentina was really really impressive.
They make Mexico look very ordinary.
You dont see that too often.
I didnt see one single textbook mexico play where they play the ball behind the defenders on the wings and have them scampering.
T&T coach should watch this take a million times to see how to neutralise Mexicco.
But I guess as a man say, it all comes down to individual class....And perhaps only Brazil have players who on the same level.
Every single one vs one, Argentina players get the ball. Like the ball glued to them boots.
Their technique was breathtaking.
They played as a unit, in defense and attack.
They never chased the game.
Defense never panicked.
Always moving off the ball intelligently.
Always had options to pass, so never pressured into mistakes.
This is how football should be played, simple and elegant.
One of the best international performances I have ever seen.
Garcia - u right, the ball was passing them mexican players foot real near all game and they couldnt get it. Such was the class of the passing...
Mexico tried to play and compete with Argentina and it cost them.
they shoulda play more defensive, a la Trinidad in the WC, they might have done better.
